Eve: Alternative Universes...

Hypothetically, what if CCP were to decide in the future that there are enough Eve subscribers that additional servers would be better. Each server will have a different twist on the gameplay mechanics to offer tatical/gameplay variety amongst the servers. What "alternative universes" of Eve would you like to see and how do you think the changes would effect the gameplay? There would also be no character transfers (basically a sp reset) so that everyone starts from a new character.

Here's mine:

Server 1: Tranquility

Server 2: Anarchy:
-No local in Null sec.
-No super caps
-No T2 BPOs
Effect: probably the Eve that most players have been asking for a long time.

Server 3: Eternity
-no microwarp drives
-no webbers
-no 100MN AB T3s (T3 would only fit 10MN ABs)
Effect: not sure, but curious

What's yours?

so if I go to an alternate universe will I find a version of me with a goatee..and tribbles running wild on my ship?

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

You might look good with a goatee actually.

Server 7:

No gates, no warp drives, only afterburner fits allowed. Lets take space travel to the next level of realism.

Server 9:

PvP is permitted in highsec, but ships destroyed there only drop candycanes and lollipops.

Server 11:

Picking up player corpses inside strange gas clouds causes the debuff 'zombies' , which all of the players abilities are slowed by 10 seconds due to the ships crew being preoccupied with their own survival inside the hull. For added realism, when player zooms into affected ships, terrified screams and sounds of gunfire along with the shuffling of feet can be heard through the hull.

So close...

Lol. Such creative and imaginative minds at work here.

On a related note: How about an alternative universe where CCP actually decently moderates their forums? Or is that what reputation that CCP is going for... troll infestation?

Its not about "fixing" anything. Its about after a decade of gameplay some tatical variety would do the game some good. There are alot of ways that the game-mechanics could have been hypothetically setup. The *current* game-mechanics exist because of arbitrary whims of the devs. If they had decided to go a different direction with the game mechanics the game tatics would shift to tatics completely different. I think that its an interesting bit of speculation.

For example:
What if the devs had never made MW... and without MW, no webbers... what would game tatics be then? Interesting to speculate.

I would rather see CCP open up new area's of space (maybe with different rule sets) then allocate new hardware to a completely different server

Perhaps a new section of 0.0 on the other side of W-Space.
